Nasraoui is no stranger to controversy.
Last year, Lamine Yama;’s father was reportedly fined ₦940,000 (£470) after being involved in a violent altercation with members of the right-wing Vox party during an election campaign. This incident involved Nasraoui attacking a tent belonging to the party.
While this previous legal trouble was seen as an isolated incident at the time, it now appears to be part of a larger pattern of conflicts that have followed him in recent years.

So far, the police have arrested three suspects and are still searching for a fourth individual believed to be involved in the stabbing.
Meanwhile, Lamine Yamal, who is preparing for Barcelona's La Liga season opener against Valencia onSaturday, July 17, now finds himself dealing with the emotional toll of his father's situation.
